2019 Building Performance Reports
Now Online for Benchmarked Buildings
|
|
Building-specific performance profiles are now available for 2019 benchmarking data, along with an updated building energy performance map. Building data is accessible online for five years from 2015 to 2019.
The profiles show how well a building performed compared to peers, highlight trends in energy use since 2015, and summarize the building's impact on climate change. Users can also browse the performance map to filter buildings by energy use, building characteristics, or neighborhood.
Search for a building on the map here or download the raw data here.

Compliance Portal Live for 2020 Reporting
Once you have completed all the required steps to make annual updates and submit your 2020 benchmark report, you can check the compliance status on the
online portal. To check your compliance status you will need the OSE Building ID or Portfolio Manager User Name.
Not Compliant Status
If the building is "Not Compliant" the reason is listed under the Issue column. Common reasons for non-compliance are:
- The benchmarking data in Portfolio Manager has not been shared with City of Seattle.
- The benchmarking data in Portfolio Manager shared with City of Seattle is missing complete energy data for 2020.
- The benchmarking data in Portfolio Manager shared with City of Seattle has been flagged for possible energy or building details errors and requires account verification.
Follow the directions in the Next Steps column to correct the issue. The Compliance Resources section at the top right of the portal provides guidance on how to address common issues in Portfolio Manager.
Compliant Status
If the building is "Compliant", your benchmarking report is complete, and you are all set for 2020 reporting. You'll need to report again next year so save your Portfolio Manager username and password. In the meantime, check out your building’s performance. Each building report includes data from 2015-2019 highlighting energy use trends.
Can’t find your building in the portal?
Tip: when searching by User Name you will only see buildings that have successfully shared their Portfolio Manager account with City of Seattle Annual Reporting. If you do not see all of your buildings required to report when searching by user name it is likely you have not completed the benchmarking process.
If you have recently purchased or taken over management of a building, or are no longer responsible for benchmarking the building in your Portfolio Manager account, let us know and we will update our records.
